On the right side of the entry it was
written as 27 August 2010

When I climbed the tree leaning
towards the roof of the human home, it was cloudy with shattering
music of rain. Later the Sun disappeared shifting the beauty of
light replacing beauty of darkness accompanied with the music of
Owls and nightjars. I waited patiently throughout; as I need some
food…my tummy was in fire….

I climbed down from the roof top. I
know the danger is hiding around every corner I sniffed. I have
to expect a Cat, a Bird potentially a human devil around. Life is
short, but I have to be in constant vigil from birth to
death!

I will be in the odd end if I move
around before the lights are off. I know more about the expecting
danger from humans; they are the cruelest, cunniest and dangerous
species I had ever met; even the hawks are descent in their
killings!

Observation is the key tool for
survival. No one teaches us about observation, but it is inborn
tendency of us in particular. I watched all over, some sensation
triggered my interest. It was a sweet smell flowing like a melody
that has never heard before. Floating like a boat I followed the
scent… My mind is still or in short I am hypnotized by the scent
that can cool my inner fire.

Following the scent went around
sniffing over tables, chairs and on the floor where some cloths
were there. With a special interest, I just chewed a long pant to
make it shorter for someone to be fit according to their fashion.
But this was not the source of the scent…I went on dancing;
following the source of scent…later I spotted something is
calling me from the corner and it reflected my desire to be
fulfilled.

It was not a dream, not a dream at
all; my eyes shined, it was like looking a fresh flower with
fragrance moreover I could see my face reflecting from the
corner, smiling…. It was a mystic view…my nose run in front of
mine than my rest of the body in a hurry forgotten the entire
reality that hide behind the object. I also forgot the entire key
that is to be followed in observation… at last such thing happens
again and again…to all of us…

Invisible but visible I tried my first
bite, giving me a terrible pain that shoots from my tail;
Electrified in all aspect. The first moment I howled like a wolf
in pain and anger… I realized it was a bait….fixed for trapping
us. I tried to push as hard as possible; it gave me more pain and
the whole trap was in motion with my body creating noises of
despair.

I thought "final moment in life is
on…oh God"

"How did I make such a mistake in my
life…. eyes were blind with pain…it stuck like a thousand bites
from a cat… Cats won't give such pain while killing; Even if it
is for few seconds. Oh…looked all around…"

Some faint light approaching, I saw
suddenly. It is not imagination or dream but a reality
approaching towards me in the form of death. I stood freezed with
fear…every nerve stood tight as it could, looked all around. I
could only hear the approaching noise of human footsteps
approaching as the messenger of death.

The sound of footsteps stopped beside
me. I saw two giant foots. I looked all around nervously… I know
my death is near…and I am not proud to be as it happens from
human hands.

I was unaware what was happened a
while, I don't sense a pain, my tail is free to move from the
claws of iron gates. I thought what made that man to do this act…
suppose I run away…but I couldn't … I am aware that I am inside a
metallic trap so hard to break.

Shook like an earthquake, the trap
including me raised high in the air and moved rapidly the down
floor. I saw one cat curiously looking at me and walking with
that monster. Oh no…. Cats won't spare anything. They are precise
in catching… I know him as some of my family members are eaten by
him… alone… Cats eye shined like two bright stars… I can see the
real hell inside his eyes…

Moments passed I saw the iron door
opening slightly and that monster put some banana fruit inside
the trap again… I ate, it was delicious…my mind thought….humans
are cunning…is it poison what he gave me…if… I watched my
tummy…no pain…nothing happened…nothing happened… even after few
minutes…

After a while all lights were out,
door closed behind me. I saw a cat sitting near my cage looking
at me… Cat was funny as he tried many times to catch me but in
vain it slept beside my trap the whole night. I have heard Dog
barking outside. Cats are too nervous when they hear Dog barks.
Cats are very cunning and selfish animals like humans. They
usually exploit situations and circumstances more effectively
than any other species and take advantage of feeble human
emotions. So they live majestically around human
dwellings.

Hours passed, the Sun smiled giving
all blessings to nature to show its fresh colors, it was raining
outside…I wonder the light is sharp enough to penetrate through
the clouds to fall on this earth. I only saw two brilliantly
green bright eyes watching through out night like an unending
nightmare.

This must be my last hours…I thought…
" I could hear more foot step noises approaching and moving all
around including new two cats I could see watching curiously.
Cats are font of fish; they are font of Us! And they eat what all
humans eat except Vegetables. It is my fate to see all these
three cats wanting me as their dish. Cats won't cook food. But
they eat cooked food. Humans consume cooked food, as I know they
are afraid of getting diseases!

I know only one cat gets me, if the
cage is opened… the others won't. Can I prefer that lucky cat;
if, all three never gets me! to die by a good cat is worth
thousand times than with the hands of humans.

I saw the same man standing beside me.
He took the trap; I was traveling high above swiftly; below I
found cats following. He kept the cage on an open area. I can
hear sounds of conversation going in between humans. Human
conversation is a bit difficult. Sometimes conversation will be
in low voice, sometimes it is high pitch. Some times never-ending
and sometimes uses very short sounds. Male and female voices
differ while I also understood individual voice quality is unique
in whole sense. A weird species!

I could see grasses all around me….the
greatest problem are from ants and mosquitoes…I saw one frog
hopping in the far end. Lucky frog! I saw numerous birds flying
high and some bird's low, some watching me. One of the cats seems
to be funny and it hit the cage in a playful mood. I thought of
running as fast as I could …. I don't know towards where… that
was the question of faith…there can be snakes watching patiently,
or a cat following or a bird on the air or a big violent blow on
the head by the humans. Any way I will die….

Heavy downpour kept me soaked in
water….oh no, I hate in water as well as strong lights…now I am
exposed to it. Bad Fate strikes one like halk, sometimes it is
easy to escape sometimes it may stuck hardly, and we call it as
unlucky.

Minutes passed, again I saw I was
moving in the air, the iron door started to open slightly very
slowly and some food materials where in! I rushed to the other
corner of the cage in fear. What is going on…. I am helpless…this
is poison…sure…I don't eat…sure…The final moment was very near
and it laughed at me… mercilessly.

A moment later strong flash light
stuck few times…it was like a lightning without thunder…like a
drumbeat without any sound.

A few moments later I saw the cage was
rotated towards a bush leading to vast woods. Far away an Owl was
there for action. I have to avoid it for life sake…merciless
bird. I noticed that theIron
Gateopened fully suddenly, no
second thought…in my mind... I was charged with enormous energy
rushed as fast as I could where I saw a deep hole nearby…
Miraculously, I was a free now…a great escape to
heavens…deserved…and was proud…not to happen such errors again in
life…

As an inventor of
the entry, something shocking event must have stuck inside and
around the hole where the Rat entered, even though a mystery, I
fear something happened that must have not happened at all. But I
was so sorry to inform the readers that I spotted some broken
Skelton chewed and crushed near the hole…So let's pray for that
poor soul
